2. Description

I have an AWS Pipeline pulling my source code from github and deploying it to the Elastic Beanstalk using a buildspec.yml file
The deployment was working fine until today i keep getting this error

"Import Error urllib3 v2.0 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+, currently the 'ssl' module is compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips"

I found that the urllib3 had an update on 2023-04-26 which removed the support of OpenSSL versions earlier than 1.1.1
The default OpenSSL installed on my build machine is v1.0.2

I've tried to install OpenSSL v1.1.1 using this command **yum install openssl11 openssl11-devel ** but i still get the same error
How can i recompile the 'ssl' module with the new version of the OpenSSL

I faced a similar issue, I was able to solve it by doing
pip3 install "urllib3<2" on the ec2 instance
maybe that solves your problem as well
